Installing the Chromebook Extension

LockDown Browser for Chromebook minimally requires the version of ChromeOS that Google makes available via their Long Term Support (LTS) channel. For more information:

Chrome Releases

To install the new extension on a student-owned Chromebook, students must use the regular LockDown Browser installation link provided by your school. They will not be able to find the app by searching the Chrome Web Store directly. The installation link will redirect them to the Chrome Web Store, where they should select “Add to Chrome” to install the LockDown Browser extension.
